Eagles overcome mistakes again in win vs. Ravens

Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good. And for the second straight week the Philadelphia Eagles got lucky.

They should've lost Sunday, but they didn't. Instad, they escaped with their second one-point victory in two games, and while that's good this isn't: They committed foour more turnovers, including two in the Red Zone.

A week ago they had five vs. Cleveland, yet won on with a last-minute drive. They repeated that script here Sunday, scoring when Michael Vick scored with just under two minutes left.

So they're 2-0, and that's great. But they have as much trouble overcoming themselves as they do their opponents. That better stop in a hurry, or else. The Eagles are loaded with talent, and you can only wonder what they'd be like playing a clean game.

i guess that's for the next 14 games to determine.
